Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images A few years ago, I did some work with Passer Rating, the weird number that maxes out at 158.3. The tldr: Passer Rating is a useful, if limited, statistic combining interception percentage, TD percentage, completion percentage, and yards per attempt into one handy number.

Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images This year will be the thirtieth anniversary of one of the greatest single-season passing performances in Chicago Bears history. In 1995, Erik Kramer threw for 3,838 yards to fly past Billy Wade’s 3,172 yards, which he did in 1962. Kramer also threw 29 touchdown passes in ‘95, breaking Sid Luckman’s 28, which was set in 1942.

Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images The Chicago Bears will head into training camp with just about every starting position sorted, but there are a couple up for grabs. Left tackle Braxton Jones is still rehabbing, but if he’s healthy, he brings plenty of experience to the position. Rookie second-round pick Ozzy Trapilo and second-year pro Kiran Amegadjie have been splitting time at the position all offseason.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Chicago Bears are off for a few weeks, so we wanted to take stock of the team by running through a roundtable series. Yesterday, we gave the position group that we think is the strongest, so today is the position we’re most concerned with. Here’s what we had to say. Ryan Droste: Running back. I was convinced the Bears would take a back in the first couple rounds of the draft this year, but the board didn’t fall to them in a way that made that happen.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images With the Chicago Bears away from Halas Hall until training camp opens sometime in July, we wanted to run through a few topics that have been weighing on our minds in a roundtable series.

TJ Starman: I think the WRs are going to get a lot of love here, and it’s well-deserved.

Aaron Doster-Imagn Images We continue our Chicago Bears roundtable series about their 2025 schedule, and here’s question number two. What is the hardest stretch of games on the Chicago Bears’ schedule? Give us your answer after checking out what we had to say here. Jeff “JB” Berckes: A stretch is at least three games, so for me it’s at Vikings, home against the Steelers, at Eagles, at Green Bay. It’s also in the third quarter of the season when this team should have the kinks ironed out.
